Save Space With Stylish Banquettes

I don't know about you, but I'm always the first to pounce on a table with a booth when I'm eating out. I don't know if it's the cozy communal allure of sharing a seat while you break bread, solving the puzzle of optimizing a small space, or the countless opportunities for making a serious style statement in your home, but I'm dying to have one of these. I pulled together a gallery of rooms that utilize banquettes in different ways. Some of them include a few chairs, and some of them don't. Some reside in typical places, like a kitchen, and others are located in surprising spots. Click through this slideshow of my favorite examples and see if you're inspired to place one in your home.
